Farmer finds rare meteorite worth $1m


Farmer Gary Wennihan may have made a meteoric rise to wealth.

Wennihan, 60, was tossing aside rocks in his soybean field to prevent damage to his combine when he picked up a strange-looking rock in the fall of 2000.

It turned out to be a rare meteorite scientists say could be worth as much as $1 million.
